Fruit And Nut Salad Recipe| Salad Recipes| Dessert Recipes

If you all think this is a regular fruit in custard salad recipe, wait a moment. Because, all fruit salads need not be drenched in cream or custard to be yummy. This fruit and nut salad is a fine example of that. I am not a big fan of custard. And i owe that to a few people who have made runny custards and dunked their fruits in. I like my custard rich, thick and creamy. Correction. I used to like it that way. But ever since i made my filipino fruit salad, i ve never looked at a fruit salad that has custard. I like mine the filipino way or this way. Now, if you are wondering what this way is, then read on.

* I dint have an orange on hand when i made this salad last time. But i ve tried using orange in this and it gives a real kick.
You can omit the plums if you want.

Use molasses for a vegan version.
